Feasibility and Safety of Bridging Antiplatelet Therapy with Cangrelor in Neuro-Oncology: A Preliminary Experience
J Neurol Surg A Cent Eur Neurosurg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1785649Antiplatelet therapy is mandatory for prevention of thrombotic events in patients with a recent history of acute coronary syndromes and/or percutaneous coronary interventions. However, if an urgent surgery is required during antiplatelet therapy, a compromise between the ischemic/thrombotic and hemorrhagic risk has to be reached. Different bridging schemes are reported in the literature, but there is no clear consensus on the optimal treatment strategy in terms of efficacy and safety. Although some indications about the perioperative management of antiplatelet t...

The Extension of Traumatic Subdural Hematoma into the Interhemispheric Fissure Is Associated with Coagulation Disorders: A Retrospective Study
Conclusion Our data indicate a high positive predictive value (PPV = 94.7%) for coagulation disorders in traumatic SDH patients with iSDH without any further focal and diffuse brain injuries. We consider this a relevant finding since it hints at the presence of coagulation disorders and might be used in early hemostaseologic assessment and emergency management.

Decompressive Bone Flap Replacement (Decompressive Cranioplasty): A Novel Technique for Intracranial Hypertension —Initial Experience and Outcome
Conclusions DBFR may be a safe and effective alternative to DC in a specific subgroup of patients, in whom complete removal of the bone flap is feasible. DBFR can reduce intracranial pressure while maintaining the integrity of the skull cavity, eliminating the need for additional surgery for skull repair. Possible improvements for DBFR in the future are suggested, such as using a greater curvature of the titanium mesh or a modified DBFR with a hinged titanium mesh.
